Definitions

  • the present invention relates to two-component aqueous compositions for coating roofing substrates comprising, in one component having a pH of from 7.5 to 10, (i) one or more emulsion copolymers having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of from -45°C to 0°C and (ii) one or more anionic surfactants, and, in a separate component, (iii) an aqueous (poly)carboxylic acid or polymeric polyacid, preferably, a (poly)carboxylic acid.
  • Tg glass transition temperature
  • VOC volatile organic compound
  • the Plastiroute is the closest art but is limited to horizontal traffic markings. This is a different Tg range and different coating composition. US5985366A is the closest to the application (ie roof coatings) but requires raising the pH (ie pH stabilizing as they call it) and intentionally has only a surface quick setting film as they want the material underneath to dry normally.
  • U.S. Patent no. 5,985,366, to Wright et al. discloses sprayable roof coatings wherein a catalyst having a charge opposite that of the emulsion polymer roof coating is sprayed on top of an applied roof coating.
  • Wright stabilizes the emulsion polymer pH, for example, to 10.75 or higher prior to use to make it cationic and then, after applying the emulsion polymer, sprays on acid as a topical application catalyst, meaning that the emulsion polymer has to have a fairly high acid salt, amine or base concentration to insure acid curing of the top of the applied emulsion copolymer layer.
  • Wright discloses intentionally allowing the emulsion polymer coating underneath the spray to coagulate.
  • the methods in Wright would not allow for a high film build or single application roof coating because the emulsion copolymer coating materials in the applied coating layer do not dry underneath the acid treated top of the coating fast enough to enable the making of a coating thick enough to serve as a useful roof coating.
  • the methods in Wright are useful only to insure early rain resistance of the top of an applied coating layer and do not achieve coating layer through cure.
